I don't think it is a big stretch to presume you are talking about me. If that's true, I am certain that nowhere did I ever say that I "inflicted the hurt on purpose." If I am mistaken about that, I am open to seeing evidence to the contrary.

Again assuming you are talking about this post http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20081003/msgs/870267.html I beg to differ. That post of mine was not considered to be within the civility guidelines as evidenced by this response: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20081003/msgs/870270.html
> might happen to read my post AND FEEL HURT HERSELF!
No one here has cornered the market on feeling hurt. If you might feel hurt by someone's post, whether hurt was intended or not, why couldn't anyone else feel hurt by a post whether hurt was intended or not? Deputies can feel hurt. Former deputies can feel hurt. Community members can feel hurt. Someone reading a post can feel hurt. Folks who make posts which are considered to be civil can feel hurt. Folks who make a post which is not considered to be civil can feel hurt. No one owns the patent on hurt.
My post was sanctioned. I apologized to you in a subsequent post. I do indeed regret making any comment about cognitive distortion to you, and if I had a chance to do it over at this point, I would not comment on that element of the dynamics, as it is indeed something that could feel hurtful no matter what the context or intent. I consider that "case" to be "closed", though if there is something more you want or need from me in regards to that exchange, please do let me know.
